In the past, people believed that heat was a form of invisible substance called caloric. This caloric theory suggested that heat was a fluid that flowed from hotter objects to cooler objects, explaining the sensation of warmth. It wasn't until the late 18th and early 19th centuries that caloric theory was replaced by the kinetic theory of heat, which proposed that heat was due to the motion of particles.
